Installation


Polkadot js plus extension, or for short Plus, is actually the original Polkadot js extension, plus some new features. It is going to be a user-friendly wallet to interact with the Polkadot/Substrate based blockchains/parachains through a browser. It allows users to access their account(s), which can also be used to interact with decentralized apps.

Plus is based on Polkadot js extension, and get constantly updating with it. Both extensions can be run simultaneously, but with Plus you do not need to install the original extension, because Plus does whatever the original extension does even more.

Motivation

We don't want to rebuild the wheel, we just want to perfect it, standing on the shoulders of giants like "polkadot js extension" and make it user-friendlier for users.

The reason why we have decided to work on this project is every day user comments on social medias that complain "why the extension does not show the balance?", "It is too complicated for new/average users to work with", "It is too abstract", " why should we go to another web site to work with the extension?", " how could contribute to the crowdloans via extension?", and so on. That's why we've decided to work on Plus extension to address such concenrs/requests of the polkadot community.

New features

The following features are currently available in the Polkadot js Plus extension:
